Dusting off Douglas Try an enlightening PaciďŹ c Northwest environmental read this summer

By MATT LOVE

I

PHOTO BY MATT LOVE

“My Wilderness: The Pacific West� is William O. Douglas’ 1960 collection of essays about his favorite places in the region.

Imagine a current member of the U.S. Supreme Court propose that an old tree should have the right to sue to block a timber sale.

Or spending practically every recess visiting wild places around the globe. Or taking the lead to preserve a roadless area in a national park and organizing a protest march to stop a highway through a greenbelt near Washington D.C. Or writing: “the despoilers are inside, as well as outside, government. It will take aroused public opinion and effective political action to keep the 3aciÂżc West from being ruined by the various invasions of civilization.â€?

Once, such a justice existed, and his name was William O. Douglas. He served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1939 to 1975 and easily earned the distinction as the greenest justice in American history. He also hailed from the 3aciÂżc 1orthwest.

Better known for his controversial private life and liberal opinions from the bench, Douglas was also a passionate and eloquent nature writer who most conservationists under the age of 45 probably have never read. He wrote 30 books, hundreds of articles, and about a dozen of Douglas’ books deal directly with his rich experiences in the outdoors. (Most are out of print, but I’ve seen many copies in used book stores and thrift shops, and libraries are full of his volumes.)

In Sierra Magazine’s list of classic “environmental literatureâ€? published in 2000, not one of Douglas’ nature books made the cut. That’s how far off the literary radar he is. Thoreau, Muir, Carson and Leopold were better writers, but I would argue Douglas is the best quote machine when it comes to inspiring others to Âżght to protect the natural world or just enjoy being in nature. Try this one: “To be whole and harmonious, man must also know the music of the beaches and the woods. He must Âżnd the thing of which he is only an inÂżnitesimal part and nurture it and love it, if he is to live.â€?

Douglas grew up in Eastern Washington where he contracted polio, survived and restored his health by hiking in the foothills near Yakima. It was there he developed a

life-long love for the outdoors, particularly the 3aciÂżc 1orthwest. Over the course of his lifetime, he seemingly camped in every county in the region.

He moved east to attend law school as a young man and began a meteoric rise that saw him become head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Supreme Court Justice, near running mate of FDR, passionate defender of civil liberties, and one of the unsung pioneers of the modern conservation movement.

As a nature writer, Douglas is perhaps best known for “Of Men and Mountains,� his classic 1950 account of growing up in the Columbia Plateau country, and “A Wilderness Bill of Rights,� a stunningly forward-thinking manifesto published in 1965.

In “A Wilderness Bill of Rights,â€? Douglas bashes dam construction (before some of the ones on the Snake River were built), draining wetlands, destructive grazing and mining policies on public land, poisoning predators, and the indiscriminate application of pesticides (years before Congress banned DDT). He also called for the creation of an OfÂżce of Conservation to oversee federal and state efforts to protect the environment. Can you imagine where we would be today if that had gone through?

But my favorite Douglas nature book is 1960’s “My Wilderness: The PaciÂżc West,â€? a collection of essays about his favorite places in the region. I can honestly say reading it for the Âżrst time back in 199 compelled me to buy a camper and explore over half the places Douglas proÂżled in the book, including the awesome Cape Alva area in Olympic 1ational Park on the 1orth Coast of Washington.

Summer is always a good time for leisurely or enlightening reading. I urge anyone with an interest in conservation and the wild places of the Paci¿c 1orthwest to do a little a digging, ¿nd some Douglas books, and marvel at a former Supreme Court Justice’s passion for nature.

Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books, including “A Nice Piece of Astoria� and “The Great Birthright.� His books are available at coastal bookstores or his website, nestuccaspitpress.com

Archaeologist to speak on Middle Village-Station Camp Delve into the relationship RJ\ RI WKH 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW between publishers, authors CANNON BEACH — The Canand has a number of projects non Beach History Center &

Museum will welcome special guest speaker Douglas Wilson at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 20. Wilson will give a presentation regarding his most recent archaeological work at Middle Village-Station Camp, a section of the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park near Chinook, Washington.

Middle Village is a contact-period Chinook Indian village in the estuarine zone near the mouth of the Columbia River. This site contains abundant fur trade-era goods and well-preserved architectural features associated with at least three plank structures. Early fur traders and explorers described the village. It was later used as Lewis and Clark’s Station Camp during the Corps of Discovery’s expedition.

Middle Village contains an abundance of wealth items and a dearth of productive tools and debris within a

traditional Chinook summer village. The archaeological excavations of the site suggest the intensity and context of interaction between the Chinook and the Euro-American fur traders.

Wilson serves as the historical archaeologist to the Partnerships Program in 3DFL¿F :HVW 5HJLRQ RI WKH National Park Service and is the director of the Northwest

Cultural Resources Institute, a partnership program at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in Vancouver, Washington. His research interests include the colonial archaeology of the Northwest, cultural identity, labor history, and public archaeology and cultural resources management.

Wilson continues to explore the historical archaeol-

at Fort Vancouver National Historical Site. One of the projects is synthesizing research on the Fort Vancouver Village, a multicultural community that formed the heart of the British fur-trade headquarters post. Archaeological research has been driven by the program’s Public Archaeology Field School, which has sampled houses and landscape from the village to explore the nature of cultural identity, technological change, globalization, and public interpretation. Wilson’s research has appeared in the Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage, Columbia Magazine and more.

This program is a free event open to the public.

The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is located at 1387 S. Spruce St. For more information, visit www.cbhistory.org, or call 503-436-9301.

Pigs on the Wing brings Pink Floyd psychedelic sounds ASTORIA — KCRX 102.3 FM welcomes Portland-based Pink Floyd tribute band Pigs on the Wing back to the Astoria Event Center for a concert of classic Pink Floyd tunes at 9 p.m. Friday, July 15.

Doors open at 8 p.m., and all ages are welcome. Advance tickets are $15 and available through Brown Paper Tickets.

Tickets at the door will be $20.

The event center is located at 255 Ninth St. Imagine the energy and electric intensity of “Dark Side of the Moon”-era Pink Floyd — in an intimate theater or rock club envi-

ronment. Pigs on the Wing has been delivering just that spellbinding experience to wide-ranging audiences since 2006.

Pigs on the Wing brings an intense, high-energy experience to the table that is both true to the original and unapologetic in its interpretation, something that the band members believe has set the group apart from the other tributes from the beginning. Since its inception as a one-off performance of “Dark Side of the Moon” to the band’s current touring production, which has included live renditions of

the infamous “Wizard of Oz” sync, full performances of multiple Floyd albums, and music from every era of Pink Floyd’s career, Pigs on the Wing heavily emphasizes the rock dynamics and psychedelic intensity of 1970s-era Floyd.

None are bigger Floyd fans than the members of

Pigs on the Wing themselves.

As vocalist Keeley St. Clair put it in an interview in Oregon Music News, “I think I can speak for everyone in the band in saying that we take good care to be stewards of the music that we admire so much as a band ... It’s a big responsibility to play such well-loved music.”

Hoffman Center hosts Hawthorne Books publisher, author July 16 MANZANITA — The Manzanita Writers’ Series will sponsor the special event “Inside the Publisher/Author Relationship,” with an author reading and conversation between author Megan Kruse and Hawthorne Books publisher Rhonda Hughes at 7 p.m. July 16 at the Hoffman Center for the Arts. Kruse will also conduct a writing workshop during the day.

“Call Me Home” is Kruse’s debut novel, released from Hawthorne Books in March 2015, with an introduction by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book won the 2015 Rainbow Award for Gay Contemporary Fiction.

Kruse will read from her novel. Then she and Hughes will talk about how to get published and the editing process that follows — an inside view into the publisher/author relationship.

Kruse grew up in the 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW DQG currently lives in Olympia, Washington. She studied creative writing at Oberlin College and earned her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Montana.

The Manzanita Writers’ Series has hosted other Hawthorne authors including Lidia Yuknavitch, Ariel Gore and Karen Karbo.

Prior to founding Hawthorne, Hughes had an extensive career in book production and printing.

She holds a Master of Arts in English literature and completed the Yale Publishing Course.

There will be no Open Mic session for this special event. Admission for the evening reading is $7.

Kruse will present a writing workshop during the day on “Crafting Emotion.” Students will learn how to use object potential, transcendent details and other tools to create work that resonates deeply with readers. The workshop is useful to all genres.

The workshop will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m.

The fee is $30; register online at hoffmanblog.org.

‘Who Eats at Taco Bell?’ comes to Astoria Project crosses tacos, social justice and collaboration along the Lewis and Clark Trail ASTORIA — This summer, Gaelyn and Gustavo Aguilar are on a two-month expedition over the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, making various stops at community venues along this 11-state journey. All the while, they are making tacos with people, prompting dialogue, and inviting innovative forms of engagement around the question: What is it going to take for us to truly live interculturally?

The Aguilars will be in Astoria on Thursday and Friday, July 14 and 15. You can ¿nd them 3 to 6 p.m.

Thursday at the River People Farmers Market and at 7:30 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church, located at 12th and Exchange streets. They will set up their “taco encampment” with taco making, portrait taking, conversation and a multimedia performance.

Join them again at the Astoria Public Library at 6 p.m. Friday, July 15 for a look back at their two-month expedition. The July 15 presentation is part of the Astoria Public Library and Lower Columbia Diversity Project’s Diversity Dialogues series.

The idea for the expedi-

tion was sparked in Gustavo Aguilar’s hometown of Brownsville, Texas, a town of 175,000 with about 150 to 200 taquerias. Yet, one Taco Bell thrives. In investigating why, the Aguilars began to understand how the American diet ² as much as it has been formed by the intermingling of different cultures ² sheds light on the multiple ways that Americans have chosen to de¿ne what it means to be an American.

They began to explore how making tacos with people along the Lewis and Clark Trail (a trail forged by an expedition that played an important role in European-American territorial, cultural and economic expansion across the continent) would be a powerful way to explore the paradox of how someone could harbor a disdain for “foreigners” but a love for their food, bearing

in mind that this paradox is often connected to a kind of forgetfulness of how in the U.S. we are, in fact, almost all aliens.

The Aguilars hit the road to deepen understanding and action around the attitudes and ideas our country has inherited. They are working closely with national and community partners to tailor the architecture of the experience to local needs and invite new visions for the future during this time of change.

Gaelyn and Gustavo Aguilar are the co-artistic directors of Tug, a collective focused on interdisciplinary re/ search, new forms of social practice, and participatory, problem-based interventions that tackle cultural politics of contemporary border regions in North America.

Find a wild goose chase of garage sales OLNEY — Saturday and Sunday, July 16 and 17 will ¿nd bargain hunters hitting the road for the annual Wild Goose Sale on Oregon Highway 202.

Many years ago, Phyllis, the owner of Olney Store, started the Wild Goose Sale on Highway 202 and in the Olney-Walluski Community.

Originally, each participant would place a goose sign by their sale.

The event meant garage salers would drive Highway 202, Walluski Loop, Little Walluski Lane, Labiske Lane, Green Mountain Road, Lillines Road and around the Youngs River Loop searching for Goose

Signs and garage sale bargains. Some roads had sales, and some didn’t, thus the “Wild Goose” chase.

For those wishing to have a garage sale this year, they need only put out their signs.

Olney Grange will again be open for table rentals (Saturday only). Contact 503-3251288 for information.

234th Army Band ensembles tour Columbia Pacific CANNON BEACH, CLATSKANIE and LONG BEACH, Wash. — The 234th Army Band of the Oregon National Guard is embarking on its annual Summer Concert Series, featuring programs in the local area performed by several ensembles. All of the band’s performances are free, and open to the public.

The 234th Army Band is comprised of four major ensembles: Rox Teddy, a popular music group featuring multiple vocalists; Brass Ops, a brass group including electric bass, percussion, saxophones and piccolo; General Dischord, a woodwind ensemble including string bass and percussion; and Empire Builders, a traditional military concert band.

Pop-rock ensemble Rox Teddy will perform at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 at Veteran’s Field in Long Beach, Washington. This group plays family-friendly

songs from the ’70s through today’s hits. Made up of 13 musicians, Rox Teddy brings a big sound through rock instrumentation and a horn section.

Brass Ops will perform at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 at City Park in Cannon Beach.

This 12-member brass band features high-energy traditional and contemporary brass arrangements, marches and historical literature.

The 13-member classical music ensemble General Dischord will perform the concert “A Night at the Opera” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 at the Birkenfeld Theater in Clatskanie. This year’s program includes traditional marches, as well as music from “West Side Story,” “Star Wars,” Queen, David Bowie, selections from the operas “Susannah” and “The Marriage of Figaro,” and Dvorak’s Serenade for Wind Instruments.

The Empire Builders will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 20 at Clatskanie Middle/High School. Band leaders Chief Warrant Of¿cer Ashley Alexander and Sgt. Chris Sigman will conduct a program that honors those who have served in conÀict overseas through a series of letters written by soldiers paired with music. This year’s program features music by Marta Keen, Henry Cowell and Irving Berlin, a medley of Vietnam-era rock music, rousing marches, patriotic selections, and a tribute to the service members of Oregon and beyond.

Organized in 1919, the 234th Army Band of the Oregon National Guard served in the South Paci¿c during World War II. Based in Clackamas, the 234th Army Band — nicknamed “Oregon’s Own” — is comprised of over 40 soldiers from Or-

egon and southwest Washington, who meet several times monthly to rehearse and participate in military training. In their civilian lives, band members serve as professional musicians, educators, contractors, engineers, ¿re¿ghters, business owners and students. Many members began their military careers in active duty, in both musical and nonmusical units, and several have served in Iraq.

While primarily a musical organization, the band has been called upon to serve in the capacity of disaster response and humanitarian relief. Most recently, members of the band were deployed to New Orleans to assist with relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina.

Behind-the-scenes powerhouse Judith Niland retires from helming the Astor Street Opry Company

By ANDREW TONRY Photos by DANNY MILLER

The numbers go something like this: 31 years.

3,000 actors.

1,500 performances.

120,000 tickets.

This is the legacy of Judith Niland, the indefatigable, do-everything impresario of the Astor Street Opry Company, who is stepping away on opening night of the 32nd annual production of “Shanghaied in Astoria.”

But statistics hardly capture the totality of Niland’s impact.

“Judith Niland has been one of my most dearest friends of my entire life,” says Markus Brown, who got involved with the Opry Company some 15 years ago. “She’s like walking, talking magic. She has given people second and third and fourth and ¿fth tries to redeem themselves. It can’t even be said, everything she’s done.”

“All the actors, we’re all friends,” Brown adds. “And we all have the same opinion of Judith: She’s a saint.

She’s an unsung soldier in the community.”

— “The ¿rst memory I have is meeting [Opry Company founder] Dr. Dell Corbet at a bar with some friends,” Niland says. “He tried to get me and my husband into theater, and we both jumped in with both feet.”

Formed in 1984, the Astor Street Opry Company moved locations several times before settling into the old Roy’s Maytag building at 129 W. Bond St. The nonprofit organization has grown from one production of its flagship “Shanghaied in Astoria” musical each year to three original musical melodramas, children’s and teen theater, live stage dramas, comedies and other events.

Judith Niland is retiring this summer from the Astor Street Opry Company after over 30 years of involvement with the theater. In the course of her time with the Opry Company, she has built sets and run lighting booths, wrote scripts, directed, recruited volunteers, sought sponsorships, directed marketing, production, concessions and more.

“It seemed fun,” Niland says, “like something to do.”

She began in costuming, sewing spats — shoe covers.

“I watched my spats dance around,” Niland remembers. “The feet were at eye level. I was like: ‘I did that! I did those spats!’ Then I was hooked.

Then I wanted to do it all. I

wanted to make sets. I wanted to see if we could make the business work better.”

And, indeed, Niland truly did it all.

To create a performance space, she cleared waisthigh rubble from lobby of the then-dilapidated Astor Hotel. She built sets, lighting booths, wrote scripts,

directed, recruited volunteers, sought sponsorships, directed marketing, production, concessions and so on.

“I pretty much have done every theater job,” Niland says.

“My attitude was: I couldn’t ask someone to do something I wouldn’t do myself. I needed to know how much was being asked of the volunteers.”

It wasn’t so much the art, though, that ¿rst attracted Niland.

“I was more interested in the management than I was in the acting for a long time,” she says. “Business management was more interesting to me. It was a nice combination of art and management. I enjoyed that.”

And as a nonpro¿t, working with an all-volunteer cast and crew, there was plenty of business to keep up with. For years, the Astor Street Opry Company struggled to ¿nd a permanent home. From the Astor

Hotel, the theater group moved to the Eagles Hall, where Niland had to build a bathroom and stairwell, to the Banker’s Suite building, tried out a church, moved to the Finnish Meat Market before ¿nally settling in the former Roy’s Maytag Home Appliance building, the company’s current home.

“I’m born with resiliency,” says Niland, “and that’s what it is, really. I never took to school. I never took to the normal education system. I never was good at being tested. What I’m really good at is learning from my mistakes — eliminate

the problem, try again.”

Seemingly nothing could deter her — even a lack of ticket sales. A decade in to the performance of “Shanghaied,” audiences seemed to be drying up.

“I would call the women’s shelter and ask if there were any families who wanted to see the show for free,” Niland remembers. “I didn’t want the cast to see an empty room. And this was the 10th year — it takes time.”

“We tried everything,” Niland says of the search for audiences, “dinner theater, serious plays. Somewhere along the line it became clear that we were really good at melodrama — it was great for amateur and professional actors, and it was great for the barbary FRDVW ¿ VKLQJ WRZQ VW\OH WKDW we live in.”

Around 20 years in, Niland began directing. She wrote “Scrooged in Astoria” and “The Real Story of Lewis and Clark,” two of the Company’s three repeating annual productions.

Eschewing the spotlight, she has acted sparingly, only out of necessity. And while it may seem hard to believe, Niland maintains she’s less-interested in theater as an art form than for the inclusive, safe space

and nurturing community it provides.

“I really don’t like theater that much,” Niland says. “And I’m sorry to all my friends out there. I like the process of why people get involved in theater, how it helps them grow, how it helps them grow more FRQ¿ GHQW , ORYH ZDWFKLQJ that, seeing someone who feels they’re not capable of saying a line and eventually taking a lead role.”

“I provided a playground

For “Shanghaied in Astoria,” dubbed a celebration of Astoria’s Scandinavian heritage, 26 parts are open for actors, and each part is triple cast, so about 70 actors participate each summer.

Over the past three decades, the Opry Company has grown to the point where 500 to 600 people participate each year by acting on stage or helping behind the scenes.

for that personality to grow and become a better person,” she continues.

“All I did was provide a playground. I made sure the door was open, so they could keep doing it. I’m at the point now where some-

What they needed complimented my skill set, and what I got in return complimented what I needed.

It was kind of a perfect synergy.”

Brown came aboard around the turn of the century. He began with a bit of acting, and then lent his carpentry skills, assisting Niland with set construction.

In the role of Production Chair, and a member of the Board, Brown is one of many who will come WRJHWKHU WR KHOS ¿ OO WKH void Niland will leave. He admits, readily, that she will be impossible to replace — even by committee.

“I’m heavily involved and have been heavily involved with other theater groups in the area,” Brown says, “and nobody has been like Judith Niland. She’s something else.”

“I don’t believe people in the community understand the level of dedication and the amount of work that Judith has had in her 30-year career in the Astoria Opry Company,” Brown says.

While Niland is irreplaceable, Brown and the rest of the Opry Company family and organization DUH FRQ¿ GHQW LQ PRYLQJ forward. Sad as they are to lose Niland, they don’t feel like the sky is falling.

“It’s just changing,” Brown says. “Now is a time of evolution for the Astor

— “The Opry Company came into my life when I needed an outlet,” says Markus Brown. “I needed to help an organization.

Street Opry Company.

We’ve gone through periods of turmoil, and this is not like that. It’s time to diversify and expand our board and committees so we can meet our mission statement and commitment to the community.”

For her part, Niland is content to step away quietly.

She has forbidden the cast and crew from throwing any public party.

“I don’t want anything to happen,” she says. “It’s embarrassing. I might throw my own retirement party.

That was compromise — in my own backyard.”

In leaving, Niland hopes to spend more time with family, and to free herself to take on the next artistic challenge, whatever it may be. “I like that idea that I still have a good 30 years left in me, and I like the idea that I can do something different,” she says.

“You either keep growing or you die,” Niland adds.

“I just kind of reached that point. I pretty much have taken [The Opry] as far as my abilities and what I’m inclined to do.”

As for the company’s continuing, Niland looks toward a new generation.

“People love theater,” she says. “That’s why it’s been going on since the beginning of man. There’s a lot of people that it enhances their lives, and they’re the ones who need to keep it going.”

14 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

Pamper your palate with a fresh choice Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

I

I was beat. My feet hurt. My brain was fried. I’d been working too much and I needed a break. I needed to be treated, taken care of. To unwind. So I got in the car and I drove south, over the cliffs of Neahkahnie Mountain to Wheeler where I found the Rising Star Cafe.

I knew of the Rising Star, of its ¿ne reSutation, that the hole-in-thewall, funky building and its Seeling blue Saint was not reSresentative of the ¿ne food inside. I did not know, however, that reservations are almost wholly required. When I arrived on a Wednesday evening around S.m. I was nearly turned away desSite the restaurant being half-full. $ little Sersistence got me a table.

My luck continued as I was carrying cash. I rarely do, and Rising Star doesn’t take cards. (Checks are OK.) The dining room is tiny — roughly the si]e of an aSartment bedroom.

SSace-saving wooden benches run lengthwise. The room is casually dressed, with natural light and Sastel style evocative of a breakfast nook.

There’s sSace enough for maybe or diners to ¿t comfortably. On this evening they’re mostly couSles, sitting closely. Sounds and smells drift in from the adjacent kitchen, over big band jazz on the stereo.

The menu bears the day’s date.

It is short and in constant Àu[ there are but a handful of main course oStions, no aSSetizers nor side dishes.

Each selection comes with a salad. %esides a Sasta or two, a cioSSino and a burger, they are as such an animal Srotein with a medley of vegetables. 'esSite there being only or so oStions, it’s quite dif¿cult to decide. Everything looks amazing.

ToS quality ingredients and classic techniques.

Seafood, the servers say, is chef Ron’s sSecialty. It comes from *aribaldi. (The Sroduce, from Tillamook, and the beef from Colorado, from a farm where the chef aSSarently once worked.) With that

The Oregon Red Rockfish & Shrimp Francaise featured potatoes, a medley of vegetables, rockfish, shrimp, and citrus beurre blanc.

suggestion I bySassed the Canary Island Roasted Lamb Stew (which would be gone from the menu the ne[t week) in favor of the Oregon Red Rock¿sh ShrimS )rancaise ( ), which the menu described as an ³Italian interSretation of a )rench conceSt using Northwest ingredients.” )irst came the salad, on a clear glass Slate. 'usted with 3armesan and tossed ever so slightly in a vinaigrette, the lightly sSicy greens and carrot sSears stood ¿rmly on their own, fresh as could be, telling of the soil. The Sortion was slight, meant to Seacefully rouse digestion, to warm uS. Carefully arranged, dotted with Àower Setals and curly-cued scallions, the main course was both abundant and labored over. Stacked like a mountain uSon boulders of e[quisitely seasoned, Serfectly crusted, soft home-fried Sotatoes and

surrounded with a smorgasbord of veggies — from green beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, bell SeSSer, carrot, zucchini, kale and more — were two large cuts of rock¿sh, bay shrimS and citrus beurre blanc. The ¿sh’s breading was light, not crisS, and used seemingly to hold it together.

All together, under so much of the beurre blanc, the meal was rather acidic. The ¿sh was buttery enough to meet, withstand and balance it.

The shrimS, not so much. I couldn’t ¿nish — it was a good feeling, that a dainty Sresentation didn’t Sreclude a walloS of food.

As one diner mentioned to his comSanion after ¿nishing a similar Slate ³I’m stuffed with the best stuff,” he e[haled. ³To be full when it’s so healthy, that’s where to be.”

Unlike him I saved room for dessert, an e[quisite Key Lime Tart ( ) toSSed with a leaning tower of fresh whiSSed cream, sSrinkled with dried blueberries over a graham cracker crust. Against its cooling, smooth brightness I enjoyed a warming Serk from the vast menu of green teas.

I was temSted, as many were, to Soke my head into the kitchen, or to send word via the server, to thank

the chef. Indeed, the e[Serience had rela[ed me, made me recognize the fruits of my labor.

I returned a few weeks later and found a similar menu, albeit with a few changes here and there. I was curious about the burger — could it justify the Srice tag" %ut I was taken in by 3ork Tenderloin Casalinga ( ), its divine crust more than a te[tural addition, its herbs tantalizing and mysterious. It was tremendously Italian. Save for creamy, whiSSed mashed Sotatoes reSlacing the home fries of the Rock¿sh and nearly a head of roasted garlic, the accomSaniments were quite similar. I dreamed about sides that were more reactive, conversational with the main courses. The homogenization is another of Rising Star’s idiosyncrasies. It is a restaurant that is both casual and Sarticular.

This all changes on Thursdays — Sasta nights. There, without reservations, one can get a quick Slate for a relatively low Srice ( . ). 3ick your noodle — linguini, Senne or fettuccine — and your sauce, in this case Sesto, Somarola, bolognaise or lamb stroganoff. I tried the bolognaise and lamb and was comforted

and satiated by both. Each invoked e[cellent home cooking. The bolognaise was straightforward, elemental, simSli¿ed. The stroganoff, with gobs of sour cream, featured big chunks of succulent lamb. It was almost like a different restaurant.

It’s the other nights of Rising Star’s short week that sSeak to the restaurant’s heart, though — that casual, Sarticular heart. *ive yourself over to chef Ron and his e[acting sSeci¿cations and you can indeed leave feeling a little more SamSered and Sersonally cared for than most restaurants in the area. Indeed, with the Rising Star’s quaint size, it’s aSSarent chef Ron Suts himself into every single dish.

One grouS, after dinner, dessert and wine, were lingering. 3art-time residents from Manzanita, they were discussing the seminal New Yorker Siece about a tsunami landing on the North Coast. They did so with blasé cheer — as if it wouldn’t matter at all if everything were washed away. Indeed, a good meal can do that for you.

Enjoy lunch in the loft with Katherine Bolger Hyde SEASIDE — Beach Books will host author Katherine Bolger Hyde for Lunch in the Loft at noon, Thursday, July 21. Attendees can enjoy a delicious catered lunch and a signed copy of Hyde’s new book “Arsenic with Austen.”

In the novel, when retired literature professor Emily Cavanaugh inherits a fortune from her great aunt, she expects her life to change. She doesn’t expect to embark on a murder investigation, confront the man who broke her heart 35 years before, and nearly lose her own life.

Emily travels to the sleepy coastal village of Stony Beach, Oregon, to claim her inheritance, centered in a beautiful Victorian estate called Windy Corner.

There she hears hints that her aunt may have been murdered, and soon another murder con¿rms these suspicions.

While Sheriff Luke Richards, her once-and-possibly-future love, does the police work, Emily turns her literary mind to analyzing

The Peninsula Players will put on their 10th Mystery Dinner Theater production July 20, 21 and 22.

Help solve the crime at Mystery Dinner Theater OCEAN PARK, Wash. — Long Beach Peninsula year-rounders and visitors who enjoy murder mysteries will be happy to know the Peninsula Players theater group has a new Mystery Dinner Theater coming up.

At 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 20, 21 and 22, mystery lovers can gather at Ocean Park Lutheran Church and enjoy a full-course dinner while also helping assist in solving a possible heinous crime in the play “Murder Me Always,” directed by Rob Lindberg and written by Lee Mueller.

This mystery comedy has a cast of 11 local actors.

As the story unfolds, it may become clear to the audience that this play has a mysterious quirk. And, in the midst of all this alleged murdering going on, suddenly the play pivots180 degrees and morphs into another play.

The actors descend upon diners at the tables, sitting with them, eating, chatting and dropping hints as to who the killer is.

The audience is asked to give opinions as to who the criminal is. Sometimes it is a camouÀaged audience member. Other times, it may be a cast member, or some-

times “the once thought to have expired” rises again.

Mueller is an independent playwright based near St. Louis, Missouri, and has been an actor, writer and director for over 30 years.

He is known for comedy murder mysteries, such as “Murder Me Always” and “Death Of A Doornail.”

He has also written one-act plays ranging from tragedy to comedy.

“Murder Me Always” is the 10th Mystery Dinner Theater production by the Peninsula Players. Last year’s “I’m Getting Murdered in the Morning,” also

by Mueller, was presented to receptive audiences.

Tickets are $20 per person or $150 for a reserved front table of six people.

Tickets are available by reservation only and can be obtained at the box of¿ce at Ocean Park Lutheran Church, open 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday or by calling 360665-6344 or 360-665-0590.

Tickets are on sale now; no tickets will be sold after July 18. There will be no ticket sales at the door.

The church is located at 24002 U St. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and performances are at 6 p.m. July 20, 21 and 22.

Beach Books holds book signing Two New York bands SEASIDE — Beach Books will hold a book signing for local author Brian Ratty’s newest novel “Voyage of Atonement: The Tainted Treasure,” from 4 to 6 p.m.

Saturday, July 16. Visitors can enjoy a glass of wine and 1960s-themed hors d’oeuvres in honor of the book.

In “Voyage of Atonement,” set in turbulent 1963, two war buddies turn their sailboat from the Columbia River to the 3aci¿c

to begin an action-packed adventure of photographing war relics for a documentary. Both men are survivors of Japanese prison camps and suffer many hidden scars from World War II. Their ¿rst port of call is the Hawaiian Islands, where they ¿lm the rusting underwater hulk of the Battleship Arizona. While in port, they meet two attractive women who are as quirky as the times. The gals befriend the mates,

Salty Mermaid

By RYAN HUME

This bright blue cousin of the margarita is the invention of Astoria’s own Merry Time Bar and Grill. The substitution of Blue Curaçao liqueur for Triple Sec not only lends a vibrant, electric blue hue to the drink, but it greatly expands the flavor profile, fulfilling the orange component while adding bitter notes to the backend.

This is sure to be a favorite summer sipper and a nice change up from the standard margarita.

Ingredients 1.5 ounces of Cazadores or another silver tequila 1/2 ounce of Blue Curaçao liqueur 1/2 ounce simple syrup* A splash of sweet and sour mix A few slices of lime Ice Margarita salt or Kosher salt Lemon wheel for garnish Directions Lick the top lip of a pint glass with a lemon or lime slice and then dunk in the salt until the rim is completely salted. Muddle the lime wedges in the simple syrup at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the te-

quila, Blue Curaçao liqueur, and sweet and sour mix; shake until cold. Fill the salt-rimmed pint glass with ice. Strain the drink into the glass and garnish with the lemon wheel. *Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water. To make it, bring sugar and water to a boil and simmer for three minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool completely before using.

Is it gauche to sample a $22 bottle of Oregon pinot noir by drinking it from the bottle from the stoop of an Astoria home overlooking Youngs Bay? In some circles, probably yes, but who knows? I don’t run with that crowd.

But if that pinot is made

by Mike Hinds, owner and winemaker of Franchere Wine Company in Silverton, then the answer is certainly yes, because Mike Hinds, who grew up in Portland, told me it was “fine” and because any wine produced

by Franchere is the ultimate in authentic Astoria and deserves a hearty, throwback Astoria-kind of consumption.

And why is that? Because Mike Hinds is the great-great-great grandson

of Gabriel Franchère, a native of Montreal and a clerk in John Jacob Astor’s fur empire. Franchère voyaged to Oregon in 1811 on the ship Tonquin, helped establish the original Fort Astoria, and spent three years exploring Oregon.

He also wrote up his classic memoir of his trip in “Adventure at Astoria: 18101814,” translated by Hoyt Franchère, Mike’s grandfather. It remains a riveting account of the ill-fated Astor party and Peter Stark’s recent bestseller “Astoria” is clearly indebted to it.

I recently perused the book again, naturally drinking a Franchere wine, and the historical synergy of that pairing is a truly enriching experience.

See, history can be fun

and slightly intoxicating.

I first met Mike last summer in Portland at an event promoting my book “A Nice Piece of Astoria.” A wine connoisseur friend of mine paired it with the Franchere

pinot and the tandem went over smashingly well. I was so busy at the event, however, that I didn’t get to try the wine! Luckily, Mike threw in a bottle for free and I finally tasted this pinot the next afternoon on my front stoop with a friend and a couple of deer a few feet away.

The wine was wonderful, and the unique Oregon story behind it was even better.

(Franchere Wine Company wines are available at the following North Oregon Coast locations: WineKraft in Astoria, Astoria Co-op Grocery, Laurel’s Cannon Beach Wine Shop, Manzanita Fresh Foods, Blue Heron and Seaside Station.)
